What is an assassin?
To ordinary people, assassins are a group one cannot normally see; even if one is determined to search for them, they are hard to find. They hide among the ordinary populace, appearing without a shadow and disappearing without a trace. Others simply cannot discern their identity.
It is precisely because they are adept at concealing themselves that their mindsets remain calm and composed at all times. Unlike those who shout and brawl, those are not assassins, those are thugs.
An assassin is someone who, regardless of the time or environment, always maintains their composure. It's not about killing invisibly, but to ensure that after the kill, they keep their skills and fame deeply hidden. That is an assassin.
Inferior assassins cannot achieve this step, for the gap between inferior and superior assassins lies in a single word: ruthlessness.
Take, for example, this man, who by the riverbank, just killed an entire family.
